On the screen of the screening hall, in the lobby of the theater, the audience is entering.

A gangster burst into the theater computer room with a gun, ordered the workers to stop the movie, and turned on the lights in the auditorium, causing an uproar among the audience. The leader of the bandits immediately brought the two bandits to power. The audience thought it was a special. The leader of the bandits announced: "It's not a power outage, it's not a real person coming to power, it's a robbery." The audience thought it was a performance, and there was laughter. Suddenly, the loudspeaker broke. The bandits in the computer room pressed the switch randomly, and a conversation between men and women was heard in the loudspeaker, and the audience was in an uproar.

Suddenly, the curtain fell, and it was pulled up again, the bandits were in a hurry, the audience was even happier, the bandit leader was furious, shot into the sky, and the whole audience squatted under the chairs. The bandit ordered the spectators to stand up, hung several bags with ropes, tightened on both sides, and passed in front of the rows of spectators like combs, and the bandit leader ordered each of them to put their belongings in the bags.

Xu Guanjie's performance Li found that there was a robbery inside outside the hall door, and the bandit leader led the bandits to retreat, and saw that the biao-shaped bandits were sitting in the driver's seat of the ice cream truck, pointing to the back of the car, and the bandits got into the car one after another and closed the door. Li moved the biao-shaped bandit away, and it turned out that the hand pointing to the back of the car was Lee's. Li immediately drove to the police station, and as he drove, he turned on the refrigeration switch of the refrigerated truck behind him to the freezing point. The bandits were inside the carriage, all frozen into popsicles.

When the car arrived at the police station, the police carried the bandits who were frozen in the car out of the car one by one.

The two returned to the location of the detective agency, and in the corridor, Wang of Xu Guanwen's performance found that an "all-round private detective agency" had opened next to him. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Li Guojie discussing business with customers with the same attitude and method as him. He stepped forward and offered everyone to cooperate, and Li said, "Why should I cooperate with you?" You will, I've learned it all; But I will, you won't. While learning from the king's previous example, he took the chocolate and ate it himself, but unexpectedly, the king made a lightning move and snatched the chocolate. Li was shocked and agreed to cooperate in a five-to-five account.

Chen Yihua has been watching the whole movie in his seat, at this time the movie is nearing the end, the theme song of half a catty and eight taels sounded again, and some wonderful clips from the movie just appeared on the screen, although the film is over, but no audience in the audience left the seat, and kept watching the wonderful replay of the end of the film according to laughter.

The opening music of the film is very interesting at the beginning, and the audience laughs almost from beginning to end of the whole movie, especially the part where Xu Guanjie drives, and in the end, he is still warm.

With the appearance of the three words at the end of the whole play on the screen, the film is also over, Xu Guanwen was the first to stand up as the director, and the other main creators also left their seats. As they stood in a line at the front desk, several lights fell overhead, illuminating their location.

The audience didn't react at first, many people were still stuck in the light-hearted and funny plot just now, and more people didn't relax for a while because they were too fascinated just now.

Although two successful works have appeared, Xu Guanwen has high expectations for this film, and he is also a little nervous, sweating in his palms, waiting for the moment when the life and death of the film will be decided.

After a long while, the audience finally burst into thunderous and long-lasting applause. Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie The leading actors of these films breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chen Yihua also saw the fat man Wang Jing secretly take out a handkerchief and wipe the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and sideburns.

At this time, reporters surrounded one after another, the bandit Shi Jian and the two main role actors Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying all stood with their eldest brother, and other important characters in the film, as well as the beautiful Zhao Yazhi, also stood there and began to be interviewed by reporters.

"Director Xu, how much box office do you expect the film to get after its release?"

"Of course, the more at the box office, the better." This is not the first time Xu Guanwen has dealt with reporters, and in the face of reporters' questions, his answers can be said to be leaky.

The reporter was not reconciled, and then asked: "The highest-grossing movie this year is your "Genius and Idiot", do you plan to surpass the box office record of this movie?" ”

Xu Guanwen pouted, "As long as this movie can make money, it doesn't matter how much." ”

'Director Xu, if your drama can surpass the movie Genius and Idiot, does it indicate that this year, the first and second box office results will be taken into your arms'

'Hehe, of course I want to do such a good thing, but it all depends on the final data, I can't guess out of thin air'

Not only Xu Guanwen is the object of reporters' questions, but many reporters also shift the topic to other roles in the movie.

'Mr. Xu Guanjie, is that light Austrian song in the movie your new song?'

'Well, yes, this song just came out not long ago'

'Mr. Xu Guanjie, every time your eldest brother director Xu's new film is released, you have a new song launched and it sells well, does this indicate that your new album is about to be launched'

'Yes, I'm now preparing a new album with this song as the theme song, and I'm sure this journalist friend will be able to see my new album soon.'

In fact, the mouths of Hong Kong media reporters are still very poisonous, and this is not the case where a reporter turned the finger to Xu Guanying on the side.

'Mr. Xu Guanying, your eldest brother's film is a big hit, and your younger brother has entered the song tan, under the foil of these two big hits, you can only be a supporting role, I don't know if you have any other ideas'

The reporter's words to sow discord immediately aroused the angry eyes of the three Xu brothers, but Xu Guanying had worked in the press before, and knew that they had a vicious mouth, and Xu Guanying's own surname was not a person who cared about it, so when he heard this reporter ask, he just glanced at the other party with slanted eyes and contempt.

'I don't know what sinister you have in mind when you ask this, but I can tell you clearly, everyone's way of life is different, I can't follow the path of my eldest brother, I have my roles, and I believe that I can play these roles well, for me, as long as the audience likes it, it's enough'

After Xu Guanying finished speaking, the scene was a little colder, and then those reporters turned their attention to the other leading actors.

"I am very grateful to Director Xu for giving me this opportunity, and if there is a chance to cooperate next time, I will definitely work harder." In an interview with a reporter, Zhao Yazhi also expressed her desire to continue making movies.

Towards the end of the interview, a reporter finally found that there seemed to be a missing person among the main creators present.

"The screenwriter is unwell today, and he will definitely introduce everyone when he has the opportunity in the future." Xu Guanwen made an excuse and prevaricated the matter.

"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" has a rich and unique visual joke. For example, at the beginning of the film, the movement of two pairs of feet wearing modern women's shoes and tattered shoes is continuously filmed to show the process of the president of the private detective agency Wang tracking the outer room of a certain builder. The choreographer made a full article on the broken shoes, such as the broken shoes followed the women's shoes, the women's shoes suddenly stopped, and the broken shoes had to put a shoe on the shoe box of the shoeshine boy on the street, and the shoe boy found that the shoes could not be wiped at all, so he took a piece of adhesive tape and pasted it on it, signaling him to go. The women's shoes stopped abruptly again, and the broken shoes were caught off guard and stepped on the heels by the people behind them, and when he walked again, the soles of the shoes were torn off. He then stepped barefoot on the broken clay bowl of the beggar, and on the butt of the cigarette that had not been extinguished, and danced in pain; The classic kitchen battle scene and the comical scene of using sausages as a three-section stick and fighting the jawbone of a great white shark are all hilarious.

As a classic of Hong Kong comedy, the film is full of satire on characters, times and society, and the jokes in the film, although simple, still have a hilarious effect even today. The whole film looks pure, elegant, and unpretentious, showing a calm and unhurried humor, which seems to be a flower growing from a silent land.

There are many wonderful stories of little people, and the essence of the film is to make the audience laugh and at the same time full of strong market atmosphere, never out of touch with real life.

[When you left your mother's womb, you didn't bring a diaper, the world owes you something. Even the grassroots prodigal son is begging for a life in this gangster society, Xu's Sanjie + the young and delicate Zhao Yazhi, there are many classic and funny scenes, and many Hong Kong films in the future will continue this nonsense.

"There is an ideal for half a catty and eight taels on the side of the family?" Wage earners have the hardships of wage earners, but they only have ideals in their hearts, and wage earners also have the happiness and satisfaction of wage earners. Half a catty and eight taels is a masterpiece of the ghost horse comedy of the Xu brothers, the whole play is completed in one go, the rhythm is smooth, the burden is exaggerated and has a dramatic surname.

Hui's comedy has created a narrative technique of "logical jokes", which is different from the popular "nonsensical" of Stephen Chow, he belongs to the "layer-by-layer propulsion". This drama also marks the official formation of Hong Kong's ghost horse comedy, you must know that now Hong Kong movies are all martial arts films, and the big sales of Xu Guanwen's three comedies have also activated the entire Hong Kong film market, so that many Hong Kong filmmakers know about the huge film market outside martial arts movies.

It can be said that the success of half a catty and eight taels marks the more and more mature Hong Kong film industry, and it is it that has led to the emergence of Hong Kong New Year blockbusters and comedy action movies.

In the 70s of the last century, Hong Kong's social state tended to be stable, but the Hong Kong film industry experienced endless undercurrents: a series of problems such as the death of Bruce Lee, TV impact movies, etc., were thrown at the film industry like bombs, and new challenges were no longer posed to high-spirited filmmakers all the time! And the story of the "three Xu brothers" "civilian ridicule and jokes" seems to be the best outlet for all this. Once the embankment bursts, it will be endless, and even the nascent TV industry will not be able to parry, so it can only bow its head and salute.
